Southampton midfielder Reed models game on Man Utd legend Scholes

Southampton midfielder Harrison Reed admits he models his game on Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.

Reed is starring for England at the U20 Toulon Tournament.

"I like the way Paul Scholes played the game, especially in the early stages of his career, getting into the box and scoring goals, but that's a big comparison," he told the Daily Mail.

"The role I've been playing at Southampton this year has been more defensive. Keeping the opposition players locked out. Maybe if I get to play in a more attacking I can do what Scholes did.

"I feel more comfortable starting attacks from deeper. Rather than being pushed up high and getting into pockets of space."
